What we stand for
In our Diocese we cherish partnerships, brotherhood, exemplary leadership and accountability.
You will find our agreed vision, mission & values explained here.
Care for the natural environment
We believe God has entrusted us with many things that he expects us to take care of. These include our natural resources like wetlands and trees, time and finances, the human resource we have and land among others.
In light of this, we are championing environment conservation throughout the region by planting trees at every parish and church level. As strategy, Bishop Collins Andaku has decreed that each confirmation candidate plants at least five trees before receiving confirmation.
Meanwhile every Christian is being warned against deforestation and encouraged to plant more trees in their backyards and other fields to reduce the likelihood of alarming weather patterns.
Openness and transparency
To increase openness and transparency the diocese has also started annual auditing of our books of accounts, starting at the diocesan level and rolling out to the Archdeaconries. You will find a summary of our finances
Communications
We have ambitious objectives and have already achieved a lot as a diocese – but sometimes those things may go unnoticed elsewhere.
We therefore encourage you to explore the wonderful ministry, initiatives and activities in the various departments & archdeaconries of the diocese.
Working together
We invite you to join with us in sharing in the spread of the Gospel of Christ and the development and transformation of the Lord’s children entrusted unto us in this great diocese of the Anglican Church of Uganda.
Your prayers in support of our work are requested, and any donation or practical help you are able to offer will be most welcome. For further details please contact the appropriate manager or coordinator listed (by phone or email).

Good work done long live Collins Andaku
Each day on the Anglican cycle of prayer, as I pray for the diocese named, I like to go to their website and learn more about them. I am a retired priest in Alabama, USA. Thank you for sharing some of your diocese with me and know I am praying for you and your work for the Gospel.
This is good profile however, the Informations here needed to be updated frequently. For example, u have seen transfers for Revs in various parishes of different archideconary are not updated.
Otherwise weldone.
